Low-noise active mixer

25 February 2015 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT Analogue, Mixed Signal, LSI

Offering very wide frequency bandwidth coverage, the MAMX-011023 mixer from M/A-COM Technology Solutions provides a versatile and cost-effective platform for a wide range of applications spanning test and measurement, electronic warfare, point-to-point wireless, video satellite and more.

Housed in a lead-free, 1,5 x 1,2 mm TDFN surface mount plastic package, the IC is designed for frequency down-conversion and boasts very low noise of 7 dB typical. It covers the 4 - 23 GHz RF frequency range, has an ultra wideband IF of 8 GHz, and supports conversion gain of 9 dB at 12 GHz at low power consumption of 3 V/15 mA. This mixer can be biased from a single positive supply.

The MAMX-011023 is fabricated using a GaAs process which features full passivation for increased performance and reliability, and can be used for either lower sideband (LSB) or upper sideband (USB) mixing. It integrates a FET gain element with LO and RF driving the same pin. The transconductance mixing allows a very low noise figure for an active mixer, enabling a high performing solution for real-estate constrained customers.
